MOTA Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Daisuke Sato; hereinafter: MOTA), which aims to realize "More fair trade around the world," will expand the target area of its "leave-it-to-us" car purchase service, "MOTA Car Purchase Support," which handles everything from appointment coordination to vehicle inspection and price negotiations, to major urban areas in the Tokai (Aichi, Gifu, Shizuoka) and Kansai (Osaka, Kyoto, Hyogo) regions starting Wednesday, April 1, 2026.
This service eliminates the burden on users of having to undergo face-to-face assessments and price negotiations with multiple buyers, while also addressing the challenges of labor shortages and travel costs faced by buyers.
## Background of Area Expansion: Simultaneously Solving Users' Psychological Burden and Buyers' Increased Costs
"It's a hassle to explain the same thing over and over again," "I'm afraid of being lowballed." In traditional car purchasing, users had to make individual appointments with multiple companies and negotiate prices face-to-face each time. This process not only imposes a time and psychological burden on users but also causes great anxiety due to the opacity of assessment standards.
On the other hand, purchasing stores are also facing serious challenges. One on-site assessment can take 2 to 3 hours, including travel, and costs can reach over 15,000 yen*. Previously, if a buyer went to the site and failed to close a deal, there was a structural problem where all the travel time and labor costs became a total loss.
"MOTA Car Purchase Support" was launched in advance in the Kanto area in December 2025, and after approximately four months of operation and verification, a stable service provision track record was established. Based on this, we have expanded the area to major urban areas in the Tokai and Kansai regions to improve convenience for both users and buyers.
